Was immigration to the United States exceptional when compared to other migrations and immigrations?
How was the temporary immigrant different from the immigrant who planned to stay?
How does Wyman explain the fact that millions of immigrants could turn around and leave a land with a higher standard of living and all the glitter of modernization to cross the ocean again and return to a backward peasant village?
